Choosing gate security for your premises

The methods we use to keep our premises safe and secure are limitless. Door locks and alarms may not be as effective as we want them to be any more, so alternative methods are now being used to ensure we stay protected.

Security gates can suit commercial, public or private premises, enhancing the security of property by adding a physical barrier without ruining the surrounding aesthetics. For example, living or working in remote areas can cause us to be anxious, however a security gate is a great solution for controlling who is able to come and go.

Most break-ins are the work of opportunists so knowing that your premises are secure and that you take property security seriously can go a long way to deterring most. Security gates don’t just keep intruders out, they can also work to keeping children or pets in, for example.

Here are some of the options available:

Swing gates

Whilst the most simple form of gate security, swing gates are also the ones that have been around the longest. The requirements for installing a swing gate require enough room and free space to facilitate the arc sweep of the gate, as well as level ground so that the gate won’t catch. See our range of swing gates.

Sliding gates

These are more space efficient and can cover larger openings or entrances. More secure than swing gates, sliding gates retain a rigid structure and therefore more difficult to force open or be breached by vehicle impact. See our range of sliding gates.

Bi-folding gates

Also known as speed gates, bi-folding gates can open and close in less time compared with swing or sliding gates. Similar to the sliding gates, the bi-folding gates take up less space and are ideal for high levels of traffic where it’s important that the gate closes after each vehicle passes through. See our range of bi-folding gates.
